Game Dev Story Review (Cuupi)
100% Achievement Review
Was looking for a simple idle game to play for my downtime. This game is not an idle game. It's an achievement game. The premise is pretty simple. To hire people for your game studio and slowly build reputation and earn money. It's really hard in the beginning but after you past the 10-year mark, you can finally breeze through (but still not an idle game UGH) and you can complete all of the achievements rather easily.
FIRST IMPRESSION
You are a broke little aspiring game studio owner who has no skill, no connection but small amount of money and you order your minions to make games. Of course since their skills are bad, in the beginning, the only thing you can do is to make games for others so you can stay afloat. I've never gone bankrupt but I wonder if it's game over if you have 0 amount of money?
FIRST 10 YEARS
The best thing to do is just to keep producing hit titles. That's the only way you will earn the money and audience pretty quick. Also I hire se*y bunny girls which pretty much guarantee very high number of attendance in our booth. OHOHOHO *WINK*. They also keep releasing new consoles but I do not really buy them because there's risk of the console not performing well and getting discontinued and I didn't want to waste huge amount of money on that console. However, I do buy one console that sounds like Playstat10n and that one didn't go bankrupt so that made me huge money and fans. My workers are pretty much just the regular people and I hire outsourced homeboys. They are usually cheaper in the long run.
SECOND 10 YEARS
When you already getting a steady income of millions per project, that's when you start to invest on your people. I usually only take 300+++ skill level people because buying level 200s will get them replaced anyway. It takes a while to collect em all, these are not ptemon after all. These are the time when you start grinding for achievements. And you start to get GOTY a couple times. The most important part is to always build audience.
LAST 10 YEARS
The time when everything is already at maxed. There's almost nothing else to do. At this point, we are just grinding for achievements completion. What you make doesn't matter because you are so rich already. You can probably even get by not making anything for a year and still be rich as toooot. Now if you haven't already gotten bored of this game, you should probably continue on, but I was bored so I stopped playing it.
This game is fun if you get it 50% off. But for the full price, I would say it's not worth it. And most of the games of this franchise are probably the same, just different looks. I got myself one more of the game at half off but I haven't touched it. Overall, it's a rather plain game, but worth trying the first time.
